Thanks.  I'll get it out this afternoon.  Once out, I can either heal or replace as indicated.  Advance lists every part in it, plus a Beck - Arnley rebuild for $48.99 plus tax n tip.  Unless there's an obvious trouble, I'll simply replace it.

Johnny,

Yes, you can pull the starter rather easily on the GMC. But, I like to support it with a floor jack -- because it is very awkward for me to hold the weight when it is loose. Then just lower it down.

As for rebuilds, NAPA did carry the bushings, which is often all that goes out (at least initially)

OK, a question for the Gurus... can you remove the starter without having to
emove the driveshaft directly in front of it?
I put a couple of cables on and a hot battery.  Hit the switch and it spun over. 
eleased the switch and it kept spinning.  I unbatteryed it to stop the starter. 
hook the Ign switch, kicked the starter, now I can put the lead on the battery. 
ried again, it kept starting again.  Disconnected the starter wire at the
witch (unplugged) and the starter still runs.  I'm thinking the bendix is
ummer up from sitting, and is holding the solenoid contacts closed.  Or, the
ontacts are arcing together.  Either way, got to unship the stasrter.  I'll
ave a look, and heal it if I can, or either go for an AutoZone 'forever'
ebuild.  I got to be able to unstart it before I check for ignition.(I got the
erm 'unstart' out of the SR-71 dash 4 manual which is on the net.  I gather an
unstart' in the Blackbird generates more pucker than it does in the GMC)
Thanks,
Johnny
